Roentgen Fund Names New Radiology Journalism Fellows: Catherina Zadeh and Jan Vosshenrich
Leesburg, VA, October 23, 2025—The American
Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) is pleased to announce Catherina Zadeh, MD, FRCR,
of the University of Iowa as the 2026 Melvin
M. Figley Fellow in Radiology Journalism. ARRS also recognizes Jan Vosshenrich, MD, from
Switzerland’s University Hospital Basel as the 2026 Lee F. Rogers International Fellow
in Radiology Journalism.
Supported by The Roentgen Fund® and named for two emeritus editors of the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), the Melvin Figley and Lee Rogers Fellowships offer practicing radiologists an unparalleled opportunity to
learn the tenets of medical publishing via “the yellow journal”—the world’s
longest continuously published radiology journal. Through hands-on experience
with AJR staff and personnel from the Roentgen Ray Review—as well
as apprenticeship with AJR Editor of
Chief Andrew Rosenkrantz—Drs. Zadeh and Vosshenrich will receive expert instruction in scientific
writing and communication, manuscript preparation and editing, peer review
processes, journalism ethics, and digital publication.
Additionally, the two
will attend the 2026 ARRS Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, PA, where they
will co-present the AJR Year in
Review Sunday Session and participate in the Editor’s Forum.
Founded in 1907, AJR is one of the specialty’s leading
peer-reviewed journals, publishing clinically oriented content across all
imaging subspecialties and modalities relevant to radiologists’ daily practice.
Publishing hundreds of articles annually in a diverse range of formats,
including original research, reviews, clinical perspectives, editorials, and
other short reports, AJR further
engages its audience through a spectrum of social media and digital
communication activities.
Since 1990, The
Roentgen Fund has granted millions of dollars to hundreds of imaging
professionals for both research pursuits and professional development. Today,
through six vital scholarship and fellowship programs, the generosity of The
Roentgen Fund’s donors is channeled to every corner of the globe—establishing
dual foundations in innovation and leadership for a true diversity of
radiology’s next generation.
A clinical assistant professor
of radiology at the University of Iowa Healthcare and Lucille A. Carver College
of Medicine, specializing in musculoskeletal radiology and pediatric imaging, Catherina
Zadeh, MD, FRCR, also provides expertise in neuroradiology and serves as associate
program director for the radiology residency program. Dr. Zadeh completed her
diagnostic radiology residency at the American University of Beirut Medical
Center and a fellowship in musculoskeletal, neuroradiology, and pediatric imaging
at the University of Iowa Healthcare. Her academic interests include imaging
evaluation of knee osteoarthritis and hip joints with ongoing research projects
focused on hip MRI and intraarticular gadolinium-based MRI sequences. Dr. Zadeh
has presented her work at national and international conferences, including
ARRS and the Radiological Society of North America, and has publications in
leading radiology journals. Beyond clinical and research activities, she is
passionate about medical education, mentorship, and quality improvement initiatives
that enhance patient care and resident development. Dr. Zadeh was selected for
the Radiology Leadership Academy at the University of Iowa and continues to
pursue projects that merge clinical excellence with innovation in radiologic
practice.
Associate professor of radiology at the
University Hospital Basel in Switzerland, Jan Vosshenrich, MD, completed
fellowships in musculoskeletal and body imaging and was a research scholar at
the NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York City, focusing on deep
learning–enhanced fast musculoskeletal MRI. His research interests include
reporting and workflow optimization, radiology energy consumption, and advanced
MRI techniques—particularly, the clinical applications of modern low-field MRI
and deep learning methods for fast musculoskeletal and body MRI. Dr.
Vosshenrich has co-authored more than 50 peer-reviewed research articles,
received multiple research grants, and is frequently invited to deliver
educational lectures at national and international radiology meetings. His
contributions as a reviewer for leading radiology journals have been recognized
with several certificates of distinction, including Radiology. Part of
the standing abstract reviewer committees of various radiological societies,
currently, he serves on the editorial boards of AJR and European
Radiology.
North
America’s first radiological society, the American Roentgen Ray
Society (ARRS) remains dedicated to the advancement of medicine through
the profession of medical imaging and its allied sciences. An international
forum for progress in radiology since the discovery of the x-ray, ARRS
maintains its mission of improving health through a community committed to
advancing knowledge and skills with the ARRS Annual Meeting, two radiology journals—American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR) and Roentgen Ray Review (R3)—InPractice magazine, ARRS Symposia, free-access
multimedia from our Global Partner Societies, as well
as awarding scholarships via The Roentgen Fund®.
